Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    "Legendary Armenian generals Suvorov and Madatov."

    The former's Armenian ancestry -- if he had any -- was distant and remote. The latter is okay since he was actually from Karabagh. Both served the Russian Empire, but hey -- what's changed?

          To note, within the framework of his visit to Armenia, which was held on Thursday and Friday, the Russian army chief was received by President Serzh Sargsyan, and he held talks with Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Khachaturov.

              Well according to history Suvorov's paternal grandfather's name was Ivan Grigory Suvarian (Hovannes Grigory Suvaryan) hence the last name was changed to Suvarov. Father "Vasily Suvorov" belonged to armenian apostolic chearch and spoke fluent Armenian. He married to Avtodia Manukova ( Manukyan, an Armenian woman from northern caucasus) thru Armenian church ties.
              What else do we need?

                "According to history?" What history? Whose history?

                I see an unsourced claim of Armenian descent on the English Wikipedia's Alexander Suvorov article and a Google Translation of the corresponding Russian article says that his Armenian origins, not widespread in literature, are considered a "legend." More importantly, nothing about this is even mentioned in (English-language) scholarly work. And it's not like it matters since Suvorov likely thought himself to be 100% Russian.

                  So in your view "english-language" is scholarly work. But russian is not? Just a todays observation. Sweeds don't have Manukovs, Vasils(Barsegh) Ivans(hovannes), Parfeys(Partev). Nobody will stick suvorov's birth certificate in the face of your "English scholars". But a couple of hundred years of our folk legends and beliefs (including hearing it from birth in USSR) and even some addmittences by russians themselfs is enough for me. You believe what you do and I will what I will. For me he is as much Armenian as many who have changed their last names to russian or any western types. Lot still claim as Armenians, but their children maybe not. But the root is what he is.
                  There was no way they accepted any non russian names even 20 years ago. Even me, they did not call Gevorki but Geogievich for fathers name. One time in Moscow a hotel clerk Called my last name as Gasparov but not Gasparian.
                  People in Artsakh and Armenia know very well were any known person in histoy comes from. Where things come from. And if they decide to use or call any entities for any purose, they don't need "english scholars" or any other source.

                    One observation also. At the times of Suvorov, most people called themselvs as subject of holy emperor, or servant of empire(holy Russian empire). Just like Armenians also called themselvs ottoman subjects, but not turks. Or now we call ourselvs Americans and it can mean lot of ancestries. So 100% guaranteed that Suvorov did not call himself "russian".
